differential

Good Morning. I have a 2002 CR-V with 190K miles. I noticed that there is a mounting structure on the rear differential. It is a horizontal rod running front to back and it passes through two holes. Between the rod and the holes there should be a grommet of some kind, in my opinion. There are...

My 3rd Gen 4WD CRV was towed by only lifting the front axle. Emergency brake was also engaged. Tow-truck company was flat-out negligent! I can't find any documentation to explain why a CRV 4WD must be towed lifting all four wheels off the ground and prove what specific damage would be caused...

I am looking to upgrade the drive shaft on my 2000 Honda CR-v RD1 Manual trans. Looking into the idea of removing the pumps in the rear diff, pinning the rear diff clutch pack to make it always engaged, then swapping in a viscous drive shaft. (to let that do the engagement vs the differential...

I have a 2WD 2014 CRV. I was going to change the rear differential fluid but looking under my car I don't see anything that looks like what I've seen in the YouTube video. Does the 2WD 2014 not have a rear differential?

Hello I have a 2018 EX 1.5T AWD and was curious as to what type of diff fluid I need. I can only find that "Honda Dual Pump Fluid II" is for a 2017 model CR-V but Im not certain if anything has changed on the 18 models. I know ill need the 18 & 20mm crush washer and 35ft lbs of torque when...

Hello, First time user here and was wondering when most users change the differential fluid (with AWD) on their 2018 CRV AWD ? I was surprised when the dealer told me it was due, as I have 23,000KM or 14,000 miles. I changed it but was wondering about the future interval and the possible...

Maybe it is getting use to this Maintenance Minder but it has yet to go off or signal me on anything. I took it in for it's last freebie oil change at 15,400 miles and they deemed that according to the maintenance schedule it was due for a rear differential fluid change at 16K so go ahead...

Does replacement of the differential insulator #16 in the attached diagram require a shop press? I am wondering because the part seems to have a metal sleeve like a control arm bushing. Thanks

My CRV is less than 2 years old and has only 14,000 miles (all highway miles). I just got a maintenance minder code that says I should change my rear differential fluid. It has been my experience that rear differential fluid should be changed around 30,000 miles. I contacted the dealer and they...

Hello, I am sure this was asked more than a few times, but I am relatively new here and could not seem to have the search bar work to well for me. Nothing comes up with keywords I put in. Ended up going back and forth from googling threads on google.com... Anyway, the maintenance minder B16...

I know it's been covered a lot, but my question is more about my vehicle than the schedule. I have a 2016 CR-V with about 26,000 miles. We are retired and don't drive a lot, plus we have another vehicle as well. Anyway, I was talking with the local Honda dealership (service dept) and they...

Just wondering if all the CRV's have the little damper on the rear diff? Anyone know if they all had one? I'm basically trying to track down a slight low speed wobble and replaced pretty much everything on the front end (balljoints, bearings, tie rod ends, links, arm bushes etc) as part of a...

I just brought my 2017 CRV EX-L AWD into the dealer for an oil change. I have 15,500. The service guy said I needed to change my rear differential fluid at a charge of $99. I thought this was odd since I only had 15,500 miles. Was he trying to get some extra money from me or was this a...

My maintenance minder just came on my 2018 AWD CRV and said I need to do a 4wd oil change (or something like that, in addition to the oil and filter change). That surprised me, since I only have about 14k miles on the car, and in the past I've only changed the differential fluid every 60k or...

I just had a oil change on my 2018 Honda crv at 10,000 miles and was told at the next oil change I will need to have the Rear Differential fluid changed. First 2 oil changes were both at around 5,000 miles, is this the proper time/mileage to replace that fluid as it seems early to me.

I was attempting to replace the rear drive shaft on my 02 CRV and I broke one of the bolts that hold the drive shaft to the rear differential. The bolt is stuck in the "companion flange" . How difficult is it to remove this flange (what are the steps) so I can remove the bolt or replace it with...

Hey guys, I have a 99 CRV EX (4WD with auto transmission) and I need to change the Rear diff fluid. The manual calls for "genuine honda CVT fluid" now most videos I found use Dual Pump 2. Which one do I buy? CVT fluid or Dual Pump 2? They seem to be different...

I'm new to these little cars, and bought a 2001 as a first car for my daughter a couple months ago, re-built the head on it (typical burnt exhaust valves), and it is now running great. So, I have now bought a 99 automatic with the body and interior in great shape, but I knew it was going to...

Hello all, I recently purchased a 1999 cr-v lx with 107K miles from auction. It makes a noise whenever I do a sharp turn and has a slight rumble. I'm pretty sure the previous owner didn't change any of the fluids, but since the car is so old and has so many miles my question is if the rear...

I have a new 2017 crv ex, it has 15,900 miles, only drives side roads and highways, I do not tow anything and the car never is submerged in standing water, so my question is what is the first mileage point I should get the fluid changed? Dealer said at 15 k miles, and they want $160.00 seems...
